I did the musical selection. I doubt they'll actually listen but I hope they do - took me longer than the rest of the app! lol

Congrats, and +1! Dean Deal was so nice that she sounded apologetic for calling early, and I'm thinking to myself "I would have gotten up at 4 if I knew you were calling!". Super excited - hope to see some of you at ASW!

ME TOO. I was thinking that I could choose really long classical pieces so they'd look it over carefully. Then I ended up choosing some "pump it up" songs.

Also: Submitted 10/19, Complete 10/24

Congrats! I got the call yesterday, and also received an email because I missed the call - the email said something about a package being on the way. I've not yet gotten any email with further info, e.g. ASW dates, as yet. Would love to hear if anyone has gotten this information!

Edit: I actually just received the admission package in the mail - pleasantly surprised at how fast it came (I do live in the Bay). The letter says that Admit Weekend is April 13-16.

I'm wondering...since the admits this wave went complete in October, and I submitted in September, should I assume they reviewed my app and passed it over? Is Stanford mostly sticking to a timeline here or will they still accept people who submitted earlier, later in the cycle?

It’s possible your application is being held for a second review, which occurs around early April according to their website. It also seems possible that people who went complete in Sept/Oct might be admitted later in the cycle but before said second review (it looks like this happened according to the 2011 SLS Applicants thread I posted about earlier). So don’t despair!
